'Pachai Kili Muthucharam' Press Meet
[Wednesday, October 11, 2006]
A[/tscii]fter a resounding success in Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, Gowtham is almost ready with his next film titled Pachai Kili Muthucharam.
The movie features Sarath Kumar, Jyothika, a Mumbai girl Andrea and popular model Milind Soman.
Speaking about the movie, Gowtham Menon, says, 'This is a film which would be quite different from my earlier ventures. It is a movie about a man, who makes a costly mistake in his life and it costs him dearly. Sarath Kumar and Jyothika play husband and wife. It is an action-based emotional movie. Unlike my earlier ventures, it would be a short film which would run for little over two hours.'
The movie would have music by Harris Jayaraj with lyrics by Thamarai and actress Rohini. Cinematographer Aravind Krishna, a regular feature in Selva Raghavan's films, teams up with Gowtham for the first time.
The movie has been shot in Super 35 and would be later converted in DI, he said and added Gowtham said all the scenes involving Jyothika have been completed.
Sarath Kumar expressed his happiness to be part of Gowtham's film. 'It is a well-packaged film sans heroism with a huge star cast'.
Also present on the occasion was Aravind Krishna, who expressed his joy at working with Gowtham. Planned for a release this Christmas is Pachai Kili Muthucharam.

Wait sify has two contradicting storylines about the movies...first they reported Jo was the wife, now they are saying Andrea's the wife...
So is Jo the woman Sarath cheats on his wife WITH!! Wow, kinda deja vu from SOK (even though it was more forced cheating...JK) Should be a memorable role for Jo. BTW, she looks fabulous in these pics...she has an extra glow after her marriage to Surya I guess. Sarath looks dashing and the new girl looks pretty too. Anticipating this film!! :P :P

From: Surya on 12th October 2006 04:35 AM [Full View]
Nah...She just has a better make-up man since it's Surya who is payign for it now!
Cheating?! I thought it was an Action Entertainer..
-
From: Kollywoodfan on 12th October 2006 07:08 AM [Full View]
Apparently the storyline is that Sarath Kumar is a happily married guy with a loving wife/child and "due to circumstances" (WHATEVER THAT MEANS..
) he gets entangled in an another affair (I guess with Jo) and the villian guy finds out and blackmails him I guess. It has action but is also a "family story" apparently. It sounds cool.

Milind SOman is the first Indian Male Supermodel. He won the Gladrags Mr. India event. He had an affair (short-lived) with Madhu Sapre, then Indian female supermodel and was also in controversy along with her for a Tuff shoe advt. They had a python snake around them wearing nothing except for wearing the Tuff shoes. He has acted in some Sci-fi serials which used to come in DD-National in the early 1990s. Now he has married a French actress Jamponoi, She is gorgeous. Originally Posted by selvakumar

this movies is also inspired from the english movie "DERAILED"...gautam..come on we need original from you...
Gautham Menon looking west for inspiration?
Oct 12, 2006
After the success of Vettaiyadu Vilayadu, director Gautham Menon has progressed on to his next directorial project. This film is said to include in its cast two important actors of VV. Prakash Raj is also expected to play a key role in this film. The story for this film is alleged to be lifted from a Hollywood flick called ‘Gangsters’. Of course Gautham has altered the main theme so as to suit the Tamil scenario. He is planning to showcase the characters as someone belonging to Chennai.
Goutham
Meanwhile his other project involving Jyothika is almost complete. The film was initially called Silandhi while we called it as Parundhu. But Silandhi and Parundhu have given way to the elegant parrot. The film is titled ‘Pachaikili Muthucharam’ now. Sarathkumar plays the lead and Radhika is producing the film for Raadaan films. Gautham’s lucky mascot Harris Jayaraj will take care of music department. In addition to these features, Milind Soman former model from Mumbai has also been roped in. this would be Milind’s first Tamil film. This film has been categorized as a suspense thriller.
Grapevine says that Gautham Menon has looked to the west for inspiration for this film too. This time he is said to be directing the film on the lines of a film called ‘Derailed’ where blackmail forms the central theme. The director is increasingly getting reputed to be known as someone who lifts the plot from various sources. The truth will emerge once the film hits the silver screen.

personally, i adore him for the way he carries himself on the stage and his stupendous dressing sense......he is a dasher in casuals and i'm sure he will eat Sarath Kumar in this movie.....

Gautam is only getting better which wach and every movie... when I first watched his Minnale I was so impressed by his presentation except for a couple of "cinematic cliches" in the plot... Then KK made me sit & wonder about the movie - truly a "pathbreaking" effort from Gautam. Then came VV with Kamal... the movie was briliant in terms of presentation & technical brilliance (if not necessarily the content)... So, he is just getting better and better with each movie... I wish & hope that Pachaikilli Muthucharam will be a better movie than his first three movies and also will turn out as a Box-office hit as well..
Also, I've a hope that this guy has it in him to fit into the shoes of Mani Ratnam... I know it's way too early to comapre him with the great Mani. Once he provides more movies with varied subjects then may be he can match Mani one day! Just maybe...

The Trade associated with PM, have already forseen it's future. PM will be at best a below-average to flop grosser. Reasons Originally Posted by rajnifan

1) Remember the news post Jo's marriage, her saree ads with RMKV or some other company were replaced with a new endorser. No one's interested in her movies anymore but rather her latest news with husband, Surya. See? It's a trade-off.
2) Priyadarshan's Bhagam Bhag will be relased 3 days before. Knowing Priyan, comedy does best in North/South circuits for about 3-5 weeks post release (in this case Dec. 22, PM releases on Xmas day.) At best, it'll lose collections and continue to drop.
3) Derailed released BEFORE Gautaum finished PM . With dubbed english movies in the market, majority of India would've seen DERAILED dubbed in its native languages. From the trailer of PM and it's "Derailed" storyline, it's going to be difficult for the public to digest the theme.
Again, it may not flop, it may not be a hit either. At best it's average-below average. Not really Gautaum's best.
Why do I know this? I read off trade magazines.

http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...ham-menon.htmlGautham Menon derailed?
Dec 07, 2006
This news is sponsored by www.milesnprice.com
One of our visitors was curious about Pachai Killi Muthucharam. He was wondering if the movie was inspired by an English flick.
His email reads as follows,
Hey guys
I saw the trailer for 'Pachaikilli Muthucharam' and it looks a lot like the English movie 'Derailed' starring Clive Owen and Jen Aniston.
The storyline looks the same. Just wondering whether Gautham is trying to copy the English flick and claiming it as his own, like Murugadas did with Gajani.
Regards,
Emil Iruthayathas
Look at the trailers and decide for yourselves.

I personally asked Gautham about Pachaikili in the VV 100th day function. He said, that this movie is the adaptation of the Novel "derailed". And he said that this movie's story is actually very controversial for a tamil movie, but he had handled the movie in a very subtle and dignified manner...

Behindwoods is JUNK. When Gautam himself has already said that the movie is an adaptation of the book, these guys are reacting as though they are the first to notice the connection. Appadiye adhu movie remake a irundhaalum these guys didnt have a clue till now. And look at their source - an email!

IS "PATCHAIKILLI MUTHUSARAM" A COPY OF HOLLYWOOD MOVIE DERAILED(2005)*ING CLIVE OWEN.JENNIFER ANISTON,VINCENT CASSEL?!?!
STORY OF DERAILED:
Advertising executive Charles Schine(CLIVE OWEN,SARATH KUMAR) is just another Chicago commuter who regularly catches the 8:43 A.M. train to work. But the one day he misses his train and meets Lucinda Harris(JENNIFER ANISTON,JOTHIKA) his life is changed forever. Lucinda is charming, beautiful and seductive. Despite the fact that each are married with children, their attraction to one another is magnetic. Lunch dates quickly become cocktails after work, and before long, Charles and Lucinda's infatuation leads them to a hotel room. Their seemingly perfect affair goes terribly awry when LaRoche(VINCENT CASSEL,MILIND SOMAN) a brutal stranger, breaks into their room and holds them at gunpoint. This once illicit liaison turns into a nightmare more dangerous and violent than either could have ever imagined. Charles' life soon becomes filled with deception, blackmail, violence and crime. Unable to confide in his wife or speak to the police, Charles finds himself trapped in a world he doesn't recognize, with no trace of the life he once knew.

Agree with the first point. Vijay wasn't approached for KK AFAIK First it was Maddy, followed up by AJITH and then by Vikram.

Ajith would be more suitable for stylish movies and City based subjects than others.

Pachaikili Muthucharam
By Moviebuzz
A seasoned stylist Gautham Menon has come out with an emotional thriller drama Pachaikili Muthucharam which is path breaking and gutsy within the commercial format. It is aimed at the discerning viewer who is looking for something different from the run-of-the-mill variety. This top- gear thriller, has a different flavour unusual for Tamil commercials.
Pachaikili Muthucharam is one of the best films that Kollywood has dished out in recent times. The plot of the film is entirely faithful to the original source material – "Derailed", a thriller novel written by James Siegel. What makes the film so interestingly relevant is the fact that such a tragedy could strike anyone in the pulsating day to day city life.
Venkatesh (Sarath Kumar) is a sales representative with a Pharmaceutical company and leads a happy contended life with his lovely wife Kalyani (Andrea) and their six year old son Nanda. He lives in Tambaram, a Chennai suburb and commutes to work by local train. Venky has no real ambitions in life, is happy with the 9 to 5 job and not really bothered about promotions as he does not want to relocate to another city.
But his happy mundane existence is shaken up when his son is diagnosed for juvenile diabetics. Kalyani finds it difficult to cope up with the set back in life though Venky gives her a lot of support and love. Life changes track for the couple as they even forget to celebrate their wedding anniversary and slowly the fizz goes out of their marriage.
Suddenly out of the blue he notices an attractive Geeta (Jyothika) in the train and slowly they strike a great rapport. She is intelligent and is able to understand Venky’s anguish and problems. The strangers come close and Venky’s life changes forever.
Pachaikili is intelligently crafted taut thriller that consolidates Menon’s reputation as the Tamil thriller king. The surprise twists that hits you like a sledgehammer is the major plus of the film. Few writers have such solid control over their screenplay as Gautham does. He knows exactly how to make an ordinary scene into something special with just that one line of dialogue, or that hint of background score.
The lead actors in the film deliver some of their finest performances ever. Sarath Kumar is really the heart and soul of this film, leaving his imprint on virtually every scene. He has never looked so good and has given a subtle performance something that the audiences are not used to.
However it's Jyothika who truly steals the show, in the film’s toughest role. She infuses believability into her character with that soft love-lorn look and menace with her expressive body and eye language. It's a performance that stays with you.
New girl Andrea as the next-door-housewife lends a kind of authenticity, and she backs it up with spontaneous passion when she is unwilling to compromise or forgive her husband for having a relationship with another woman. And there is Milind Soman who is the surprise packet of the film with his voice (Gautham has dubbed) and body language being so casual.
Gautham is ably supported by his technical team of cameraman Aravind Krishna who has used tight close-ups which adds to the moods, anxieties and sheer dread of the characters. Antony’s editing is fast paced especially in the first half. Stunt Siva’s action scenes are superbly choreographed.
Music and background score plays a key role in the film and Harris Jayaraj has emerged winner once again.The song “Un Sirippinil …" stays long after you leave the hall. On the downside the film could have been trimmed a bit towards the climax.
Pachaikili Muthucharam assures that Tamil cinema is changing. It is perfect night out at the movies.
Verdict: Recommended

Apparam vera thread la "ARR-ku yaarume support illa, naanga rendu peru dhaan.. yaravadhu support pannunga" nu azhareenga..
Enna idhellaam, eh?
First of all do you know what is meant by adapting a book???
Gautham was contemplating buying the rights of this book and realized it was impossible because of the cost (obviously).
Stanley Kubrick nu oruthar kelvi pattadhunda? None of his works, i repeat NONE of his works is original. That is, all his works are adaptations. So, Kubrick yen ippadi kevalama panraaru nu solluveengala??
Which movie did Gautham 'copy'? Enna repititive?? VV is Kaakka Kaakka Part 2 nu avare sollittaaru.. apparam what else do you expect (not that it was THAT similar).
Mani-yum ARR-um adikkadha copy-a inspiration-a?
Guru BO report-a kuppai la podunga.. inga enna pesitrukkom adhukkum BO report-kum enna sammandham???
Copy a pathi ellam neenga pesapdaadhu..

P.S : Obviously, Gautham can't be compared with Kubrick

From: Nerd on 16th February 2007 12:21 AM [Full View]
But Kubrick had legally bought the rights of those books and he made them as movies. Is Mani/KH/Gowtham doing that??
The problem is them, stealing ideas from hollywood. We have wonderful stories/short written by our own authors (jeyakanthan, sujatha et all) and it wont cost them a fortune to buy rights from them

Pachaikili Muthucharam has taken an extraordinary advance booking opening in Chennai city and suburbs!
It has come as a surprise to the trade, as it is not a mass masala superstar film. Tiickets at the big screen Sathyam Cinemas has been sold out for the weekend and tickets in others Chennai screens like Sangam, Santhi and Inox are fast filling up.
Pachaikili Muthucharam is releasing big as ‘Oscar’ Ravichandran the producer of the film is flooding the Chennai-Chengalpet area with over 25 prints. On the East Coast Road, it is going to play at Thyagaraja, Prathana and Mayaajal, which means that the film has the potential to take a superstar opening!
We spoke to Gautham Menon who is in London writing the dialogues of his next film Vaaranam Aayiram. He told Moviebuzz: “ It was too much of tension for me to be in Chennai. In fact this is the first time that I am not in Chennai during the release of my film. Somehow, I am paranoid about how the audience will accept the film. But now when you tell me that the tickets have been sold out, it is a welcome relief.”
It seems that brand Gautham Menon did the wonder for Pachaikili Muthucharam. The buzz surrounding the story of this thriller, performance of the cast and the songs of Harris Jayaraj are sure to get the film a bumper opening.

why dont you say that the earth is spinning becos of Kamal only? after all he is ulaga nayagan isnt he?
Gautam Menon is indeed a director to look out for. Right from Minnale days he appears quite unique.
PKMC may be the first sarathkumar film I'll be seeing in the cinema.

See, my reply was for Maddy asking why Gautham can't do anything original. Its not about rights or paying or whatever. He is questioning his "copying" and "repititiveness". Do you agree with that? Whether the rights were bought is immaterial to this discussion. Let me say here that i don't consider Gautham a great director or TN's best or that he can be compared with Mani.
The trouble started when Gautham said in an intv ("i can say that such a movie has not been madein recent times, technically and in terms of presentation"). From that point, Maddy makes it a point to have a go at Gautham at every opportunity. None of my business, but if there is no basis for his accusations then i will say so.

Pachai Kili Muthucharam - Real and racy, glossy and gritty
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, February 15, 2007]
It takes guts and gumption to stitch an icy thriller with the tapestry of commercial cinema. It takes an ability almost bordering on genius to pull it off. Take a bow Gautham & Co, you have just pulled off a memorable coup as Pachai Killi Muthucharam is an over two-hour non-stop excitement that pins you down to your chair (albeit on the edge of it).
This glossy and gritty, slick and stylized in typical Gautham’s style of fast-cut narrative, is an answer to all those who demand their entertainment to be intelligent and interesting. The story, the performance, the presentation and the entire everything belongs to top-drawer and those associated with the film can take pride that they have done something worthy.
Gautham is one director who marries substance with shine and here does it with his usual panache. His skill over the medium becomes evident right from the slanting lights and the dark corners that are pregnant with the greyness of life. Medium apart, Gautham is also very good with men and women, so to say as he has got the best out of his acting team. Sarath in a near-life character after a long time shows that he is no one-trick pony. And what do you say of Jyothika. You may think that she reserves her best for Gautham. She is too good in a character that is complex and compelling in its contradictions. Gautham’s success lies in elevating an every-day tale to a believable drama. The shell of the story is, as Gautham has mentioned, is Derailed, the book. But the core is Gautham’s own ingenuity and improvisations.
When you see a movie like Pachai Kili Muthucharam it exposes the hollow talk of many directors and producers that they make movies under a lot of commercial compulsions. Make no mistake Pachai Kili Muthucharam is a commercial entertainer but is filled with all the right stuff that at no point you feel bored or bugged.
Gautham, as ever, sticks to his high technical standards and makes the mood and moment come alive with all its intriguing possibilities. The plebeian Chennai of trains and dust, of crowd and clamour get an artistic edification in Gautham (and cameraman Aravind Krishna’s) eyes.
To talk of the story of such an interesting thriller would be wrong and unforgivable. But the broad story line is contoured around Venakatesh (Sarath Kumar). He is so every-day like that he maybe your neighbour. A contended man, who doesn’t stir beyond the comfort zone of his regimented life. The work and domesticity are his bliss. His life is simple and sweet and revolves around Kalyani (Andrea), his wife. The sweetness of their life is their son Nanda. Sweetness should not be the word here as Nanda is diagnosed as suffering from diabetics.
And soon enough color goes out of their lives and a steely monochrome replaces it. Venky and Kalyani, though bound by their domestic compulsions, drift apart inexorably. Their comfort zone, at least in the mind, is shaken. It is at this juncture that Venky espies Geetha (Jyothika).
She comes into his life in the train that carries to and back to the city. It is in the rattle of rickety train that his own life becomes rickety and rattled. There is a forbidden charm to Geetha’s quiet beauty. Her eyes carry the bait that no man can escape. Venky slips very badly. The dark menace of blackmail starts. And then? By who? Why?
Well it is a question mark after question marks as Gautham rings in the changes like a master sorcerer. The surprise is in every scene and every change. The script gets a sharper edge with dialogues that are real and reasonable.
Sarath, in the light of this performance, obviously had been rotting in mindless masalas. Here he reins his over-the-top tendencies and shows a mature mind to fit himself to the role. Venky, the character is a success, because he is no different from you or me. The controlled emotions and the difference in his manner while carrying the secrets of his life is really good.
And then we have to talk about Jyothika. But where do we start? And should we end? It is a breathtakingly brilliant portrayal of a woman who is normal yet not so. The danger lurking inside her is brought out with amazing finesse and nuance. The complexity is agreeable because it is portrayed acceptably.
Milind Soman, the Mumbai macho, fits his character with rare ease. He is absolutely at home and lends weightage to the pivotal character. Andrea, though slightly self-conscious, too is very good in her role as woman who has to contend with her husband’s indiscretion.
Harris Jayaraj usually reserves his best for Gautham. Here he outdoes his previous works. The songs are soulful and superb. Be it Unnakul Nan in the ethereal voice of Bombay Jaishree or that refreshing Un Sirripil or that Kadhal Konjam in Naresh Iyer’s youthful vocals, they are all treasures. The re-recording too is amazingly apt.
Aravind Krishna, who is a newcomer to Gautham’s school, is a true delight. The fact that he had worked with Selvaraghavan who is a past master in showcasing dark human emotions, comes more than handy as this movie is a thriller of the mind. His angles and the unusual play of lights give your everyday vignettes a new focus.
Anthony’s editing is sharp and carry with it the precision of a surgeon and the flourish of a painter. It helps to maintain the tempo of this racy venture.
As we said, Gautham has shown that he is among the most promising avant garde directors in the country who know how to tell a story with all the contemporary fizz and flourish. Yet, at the same time retain the pristine nature of story telling — which is to keep the audience thinking ‘what next’.
Gautham has done that.
So stop reading this and go out and book the tickets for the show. And now, that is!

First of all do you know what is meant by adapting a book???
Gautham was contemplating buying the rights of this book and realized it was impossible because of the cost (obviously).
Stanley Kubrick nu oruthar kelvi pattadhunda? None of his works, i repeat NONE of his works is original. That is, all his works are adaptations. So, Kubrick yen ippadi kevalama panraaru nu solluveengala??
Which movie did Gautham 'copy'? Enna repititive?? VV is Kaakka Kaakka Part 2 nu avare sollittaaru.. apparam what else do you expect (not that it was THAT similar).
Mani-yum ARR-um adikkadha copy-a inspiration-a?
Guru BO report-a kuppai la podunga.. inga enna pesitrukkom adhukkum BO report-kum enna sammandham???
Copy a pathi ellam neenga pesapdaadhu..
Guru Nayagan rehash nu oorukke theriyum.. (its obvious in many scenes and we can draw many parallels)
P.S : Obviously, Gautham can't be compared with Kubrick

Maddy,
"Sir" nu ellaam kooptu kalaikkareenga
I don't know what's on Gautham's mind just like you don't know what's on Mani's or ARR's mind. The source of my argument was his interview to Bharadwaj Rangan
If long-haired villains and the names are repititions then so are irritating,unnatural screaming kids, trademark heroines and their "trying-to-be-cute-but-ending-up-annoying" dialogues, unnatural locales, misplaced casting, same similar sounding BGM which relies too heavily on percussions or high-pitched Arabic sounding aalaaps etc.
Minnale, Kaakka Kaakka, VV and now PKMC.
Out of the first 3, none of them would be great movies, or movies of Mani's calibre in my book. However, i didn't find that the story/screenplay were repititive or copied.
Minnale - Timepass, music
Kaakka Kaakka - The romance part, music
VV - Aandavar, to a certain extent music
Nothing great about these but copies? i don't think so.
Now, vijay thread la Rajaram comparing VV and Pokkiri was needless and ridiculous. Othukkaren. Adhukkaaga "Kamal fans/neenga ellarum" nu generalize panni sandhula sindhu paadirukka vendaam enbadhu en karuthu..
Saamy was only refuting lofty claims made by some like "Devi hasn't seen this kind of houseful shows", "no movie since CM has been houseful for the first 3 days" "No movie since CM has run like this in abirami".
Can you say Saamy was wrong there?
Let's say people are saying Harris is the best MD around, he is 100% original, nobody has done fusion like him, appadi nu sonna neenga chumma irukkava poreenga?
Will that be equal to *ARR fans* not being able to stomach Harris's success? No! adhe madhiri dhaan Saamy's responses.

Folks,
Just jumped in to put my views here.
Maddy,
As I said, we cannot generalise on Kamal Fans here. IMHO, We cannot do the same for fans of any actors !
1) IF we have to compare Mani and GM, we need to analyse either what movies they gave in the respective periods. Either what GM will give in the next 20 years down the line or what Mani gave in his first 3 movies.
what Bala said was true. We cannot compare both these guys !
2) I agree with you on onething. IF someone says GM will overtake MANI, it is a something which must be dealt immediately !
P.S: I like Minnalae a lot when compared to the other two movies of GM. I liked VV for different reason (Ofcourse Kamal )

MADDY,
Who compared mani with goutham menon?
u said he is repititive...he is not actually!
a love story,romantic cop tale,crime thriller,family thriller..all are different!
may be hes got his own style...dint mani take shots similraly in his movies?

Pluses:
Sarath was apt for the role and so as Jyothika except for the climax scene
The new babe was good too :P
Fast paced screenplay. Only a few can handle such a subject in interesting manner And GM is such one 
He is improving with every film
HJ, Thamarai and GM trio had once again gave a Feel good music and songs :P
Minuses : Post interval 20 min and the Climax

Watched PKMC I must say it was good in the 2nd half and good in patches in the 1st half.The new comer Andrea was very refreshing.JO was at her usual self. But I thought and still think Sarath is a minus in the movie.
The close up scenes between him and Andrea was unsightly at times whne they did the close up on Sarath.His burnt lips and his old age face was too visible.He could have done with a little make up or casted another for that role.
Overall was a good movie and def worth a watch this tyoe of movies must be encouraged it's very well taken even though the intial part of the movies was going on like a serial.The scenes in the 2nd half where Sarath and Andera had a heart to heart talk was very subtle,romantic and very very nice. I got to say that was my fav moment of the movie.
Menon really took that scences very well.Lighting and camerawork was excellent and the couple of songs were nice.The only minus point was that at places HJ used back VV background music.My overall:
Plus:
Andrea
Jothiyka
Gautham Menon (Went to cinema just because of this guy!haha)
Cameraman
Couple of songs
Backgound music only for the parts where scences took place in the house
Screenplay
Romance between Sarath and Andrea
Minus
Sarath
Climax
Background music (Some parts were too noisy and a total reuse of VV at some points)
Intial scenes
The only thing about Gautham even though he has given us great movies his climax is always the same thing. The kidnapper kidnaps the wife of the hero then makes a phone call and call him to come to this deserted place where his wife is at stake. It was the same thing in KK,VV & now PKMC. Hope to see somewhat diff climax in VA.
Don't miss it guys i think u guys can safely go for it, it is way better then all the pongal releases.No offence.Cheers!!

Seen PKMC. Movie is good. However, Bo i don't think so it's gonna make it.
One song is really good. The romance between the newcomer and sarth is good..(though it reminded exactly- VV).
Instead of trying this, GM could have taken his own subject (cop -kinda movies). it would have definitely suited the well-fit sarth.
You won't believe it... I am die hard fan of thalaivar kamal wanted to see this pkmc, because of the VV effect. However, GM failed to take that effect.
It would have suited for the heroes like (madavan, ajith,) but not for sarath for sure.
PKMC well shapped movie, but the suject was very very lite. Infact I projected Jo's cast would be like this to my wife and my friend
well in advance before the intermission.

Movie not as great as the reviewers seemed to find. Was a great first half followed by a good second half. Definitely feel about 20 mins of the movie and the (actual)climax could have been better.
Yes Nerd the movie is based on the novel Derailed and GM said that he has been very faithful to the novel.
Derailed (movie) was also made in English *ing Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston.

Patchaikkili Muthucharam - A Review
Not reading reviews before watching a movie has its rewards... I throughly enjoyed watching the latest Gautham flick. (my review has no spoilers.) The movie was very fast paced and Gautham's direction is improving with every movie of his.
The story is new for Tamil movies. Sarath is an every day middle class man who commutes by train to work. Very married and with a diabetic son, his marriage has become monotonous with little excitement in his daily life.
By chance he meets Jothika on the train and their friendship blossoms. She too is married with a child and has boredom and routine for company.
Their relationship becomes more than just friendship and soon coffee leads to lunch which then leads to dinner. The inevitable happens and the couple book a room by the beach for a day of illegitimate fun. This is interuppted by an intruder who then commits more than robbery. Their lives now take an about turn and normalcy flies out for Sarath and his comfortable married life.
The movie moves at jet speed with shocking twists and turns every other moment before landing at the GM climax. Would have been lovely if the movie had ended then, but stretch it must and we are treated to a totally tamil cinematic conclusion.
Gautham had handled the thriller very well. Except for the songs and the extended ending, the movie could have been very crisp.
Jothika deserves special mention and is definitely an actress par excellence. It is a pity that we have to lose her talents with her recent marriage. She dons her role with such exquisiteness right from the word go till the very end.
Sarath acts aptly as the middle aged man who has no control over the events. He receives punches and is knocked out several times. Unfortunately the ending undid all the realism, with heroism dominating.
Sarath's wife - new actress andrea - is one of the minus points of the movie. Her expressionless face and wooden excuse of "acting" really spoiled the otherwise good performances of the other cast.
As mentioned previously, the movie would have been better if it had been further trimmed and the songs removed - all of which reminded me of GM's earlier movies.
The biggest minus point for the movie was harris jeyraj. His BGM was pathetic to say the least which was a pity considering the scope for BGM in the movie. I couldnt help imagining what even YSR woul dhave done in this area.
Patchaikkili Jothika Muthucharam Andrea - the best movie so far this year!

Finally watched it!
I agree with NOV that a lot of people have been unduly critical of a movie which is not a bad *attempt* by GM (stress on attempt).
The maxim holds good - do NOT read reviews of movies you look forward to watch.
Negatives:
-------------
- Harris Jayaraj's BGM
[In one scene where Jo and Sharath share an intimate moment, the BGM piece he comes up with can best be described either as a "ezhavu" music or some national integration theme music from DD].
I'm SURE that the movie-watching experience could have been MUCH better if the BGM had been even slightly better. WTF was he thinking? Worse than Ghajini!
- Some scenes lack spontaneity and seem "staged"
- Climax - What the hell was that?
- Deja vu with the villains and Gautham's voice
- Somehow i got the feeling that the problems GM had with VV kind of shows in this film
Positives:
- Definitely a step upward for Tamil cinema just for GM's attempt, no matter how it has come out [yeah yeah, Derailed and all.....]
- Kaakka Kaakka was the first Tamil movie which has the leading lady say to the hero "I want to make love to you". Here it's even better and GM goes further
The way he has handled "difficult" and delicate scenes like Andrea not expressing interest for love-making deserves a mention. Especially the dialogue Sharath says "iyalba thaana nadakka vendiya vishayam unakku celebration-a poiduchu?!"
- The movie is faithful to the central theme with little or no deviations
- Sharath doesn't disappoint at all.
- When Jo makes her *appearance* and even after that, we will all have a question in our minds. It will be answered in the 2nd half
Nitpick: SIM card-a maathanum nu theatre-ke thonudhu, Sharath-ku thonadha??
All in all, not a bad movie, going by Tamil film standards though the execution of this attempt could have been better

Editing - This film didn't require quick cuts or staccato editing. Getting a bit tired of the Anthony style of editing, though its not necessarily bad
Actually the title credits say cinematography was by Arvind Krishna and additional cinematography by Nirav Shah

Watched PKMC...
Such a bold film that the tamil industry was yearning for. Clearly GM's most bold film up to date. The performances from Jo and Sarath were outstanding.
Jo: she was honestly mindblowing in this film. She is the best, and scores over Sarath IMO. I don't wanna spoil everything, but I'm sure a lot of you know that's she technically the "villi"...she is awesome as both the attractive women that reels in Sarath and the menacing villi towards the end. She conveys all emotion through her dark eyes. It is hard to believe that this is the same Jo that was seen as the cute, innocent heroine in movies like SOK. She is a revelation truly and her role was marvelous! (I guess GM felt bad of making her a victim to the brutal villians in his other movies, so he made her the villian this time ). Seriously, a role that not many heroines can pull off, but Jo did it with aplomb!
Sarath: definitely not a typical Sarath film, because he actually had to take a backseat to Jo, but nevertheless he delivered an excellent performance as the dignified husband, father, lover, and then a man out to seek revenge. His chemistry with both the heroines is awesome. And he also looks young and sophisticated.
Andrea and Milind Soman: Andrea like some said had a wooden expression on her face for most scenes. I don't know whether she was supposed to underplay the emotions, but whatever, she look cute and surprisingly had strong chemistry with Sarath. The villian guy was truly evil but strongly resembled Jeevan in KK with the hair. And he also ends up taking a backseat to Jo in the villian department.
I thought that songs were good and placed correctly. The violin interlude as the bgm in couple of spots was amazing. On the downside, I felt that somewhere in the middle the movie kinda lost its pace because Jo was exposed too soon. I felt she could have been exposed later for a twist with more impact. Towards the end too, the movie drags.
Overall, a daring must-see movie!

From: bingleguy on 25th February 2007 10:48 AM [Full View]
I feel this movie would be an absolute master piece... though a little documentary type .... in the initial scenes ..... Every next moment shows a normal life of a person ..... Initially i wasnt understanding the necessity of showing the electric train so many times .... but once i felt that -> it is the base for them to meet .... then i understood
A very casual way of a routine of an individual in Chennai ...... but sometimes they go on MRTS n sometimes in a outstation sitting train ... not sure if any such train runs between electric train schedules ... (thappu sollalai enakku theriyalai nnu dhaan sonnen)
It all starts due to a reduction in vaccum between a hubby and wife ,,,, she cares so much, tat she forgets tat she could be a reason for the release of vaccum.....
Cheers for Gautam ...... He is really standing out in his camera and directorial works .......... Ippo dhaan padathai ppaaka aarambichen ,....
The initial stage of the movie itself has impressed so much ... that i remembered of this thread hence thought of sharing it .....
Would share more, when i completely see the movie ....
Gautam .... Good start .... lets see how it goes further .... i ve not seen the posts earlier .... coz i wanted to see how the movie moves ... by watching the movie ...

Is PKMC a case study ?????????
I really mean it .... it has a lot of things to ponder over !
It has lot of sensible points to look into !
>> Sensual mis-understanding ....
>> Sensual Weakness
>> Chain Reaction
>> Understanding
>> Trap game
>> Trouble
I still havent seen the ending ...... Still a lot more would come up ....
I expect more on Tackling ...... Tracing ...... Trouble .... Treating ....
Some hard facts about the movie could be :
>> More on a documentararial fashion .... could be a story which was written for a mega serial.......
>> a more important but unwelcoming subject ...... but i feel it would make everybody to think on their lives and keep their eyes open .....
>> the story revolves around just three characters ..... all the more just three, till now .......
why i just forgot about the fourth character Electric Train
Gautam's treat is awaiting ....

Well i didnt have quite a mention about the villian coz ... this is the third film Gautam has chosen a similar characterization for villian .... the guy in KK, the guys in VV, the guy in PKMC .... all these characters were on similar grounds with the intention, get up, way of talking ......
i seriously feel that GM was in quite a hurry to complete this movie ... he started it off well .... a very practical approach to a very practical issue ... but in the fag end ... a normal man like Sarath ..... just escaped after shooting a bunch of guys ..... he gets pistol n stuffs so easily ..... till then he was so soft, suddenly becomes violent and fights like a professional fighter ... doesnt gel somehow ......

But other than that, this movie has the makings of a class film IMO.

Sarath with Gowtham again
IndiaGlitz [Monday, February 26, 2007]
Sarath Kumar is happy about the good opening for his Pachai Kili Muthucharam.
The racy crime-thriller directed by Gowtham Menon has been drawing good crowds to the cinema halls.
Enthused with the working style of Gowtham Menon, Sarath Kumar has expressed his desire to work again with the director.
Gowtham too has agreed to direct Sarath Kumar again.
According to sources close to Sarath, the Gowtham – Sarath Kumar movie would be produced by Radaan Media (Radhika Sarath Kumar's production house) and would hit the floors this September.

Kamal wouldnt have accepted this offer ! He is more concerned not just about the subject of the story ... but also to which level he would fit the character ...
There is not much in delivery for the character .... hence for obvious reasons he wouldnt have picked up the character ....
Sarath did a good role .... particularly he was carrying a blank face coz it is very natural that ppl when caught in affair problems could not express this much to anybody .... coz it has to stay with them ... he is also a good character artiste .....
ONly thing is.... it is not a picture for him to show his strength ... which theyve tried to show at the climax ... but didnt suit the story ....

My main problem with the story was Sarath's characterization. I couldnt empathize a character that does stupid things with moronic consistency. At one point of time, he defies the trend and actually does an intelligent thing by shooting at Jo. Wish it ended there .
forget abt changin the SIM card, I wouldn even bother to change it. While there are ppl who roam freely having commited crimes with evidence, this moron hides for something he never did, neither is there any evidence for it... and we are supposed to sympathize him

forget abt changin the SIM card, I wouldn even bother to change it. While there are ppl who roam freely having commited crimes with evidence, this moron hides for something he never did, neither is there any evidence for it... and we are supposed to sympathize him well well well .... true ..... Wish it had ended there ... oru English padam paatha time aayirukkum .... pesaama kilambiruppaanga :P
sim change n stuffs ..... agreed ..... yaarayo suttutum kuthittum vandhuteenga ...... wont u be afraid ????

probably there could be dialogues like Jo saying that she is also giving money to him .... tat would be realistic ..... that both are paying money to him ..... !
anyways Sarath could have performed even better .... but avaroda character fixation appadinngardhu ennoda karuthu

I watched PKMC last week. As some have mentioned I too feel they could have done away with the boring part towards the end.
And whoever wrote the story/screenplay should not claim originality of work . This is because the story is very similar to one I read a few years ago in one Tamil magazine. I know its easy to discredit someone . But the similarity is striking. In that story a married woman cheats other men by having sex with them in return for some financial help . The men who fell for the trap all along belived that they were the only ones involved in that affair. They realize that they were cheated only after they lose all their money. Btw did GM acknowledge someone for the story?

PKMC is an adaptation of derailed. GM did acknowledge the novel, but only verbally :P

DERAILED

Who had done a better performance ????

It's hard to compare Jo and Aniston because they and their respective PKMC and Derailed catered to different audiences...
For Aniston, storylines like this are not out of the ordinary and she was at ease and her acting just flowed.
But this is a bold role for Jyothika, different from the usual flash in the pan heroine and she brought a beautiful, haunting quality to her character. I go Jo!

Another remake of Derailed
http://in.rediff.com/movies/2007/jun/08train.htm
Don't get on this Train
Sukanya Verma

Every superhero has a gift. He can turn invisible. He can fly. He can spin a web.
Emraan Hashmi [Images] is definitely not a superhero. But the man has lips. And these lips sell. So film after film, the audience is subjected to kiss after kiss.
Can you imagine a movie whose first half is dedicated only to kissing? He smooches his wife then another man's wife. This overdose of passion gets nauseating and overbearing after a point.
The Train promises to be a thriller, but in truth it's a drag; a lackluster and sluggish screenplay ripped off from Hollywood's Derailed.
Not that the Clive Owen-Jennifer Aniston-Vincent Cassel starrer was anything worth writing home about. Truth be told, Derailed was awful. It was predictable and dreary with drab chemistry between its lead stars. It's only redeeming factor? Why, Owen, of course. The Closer star can make standing on an elevator look interesting.
Hashmi doesn't have Owen's charisma but he tries to make his fickle character as credible as possible. Now if only the filmmakers weren't preoccupied capitalising on his kissing abilities.
Set in Bangkok, Thailand, The Train revolves around Vishal Dixit (Hashmi), an advertising chap living a fairly tense existence with pretty wife, Anjali (Sayali Bhagat [Images]) owing to problems concerning their diabetes afflicted daughter, Nikki.
While their marriage (read sex life) crumbles under excessive stress, Vishal finds himself lusting over a woman he bumped into a train compartment. Roma (Geeta Basra) appears to be in the same boat as him. A doting mother albeit neglected wife, she longs to be with that special someone.
A still from The TrainThe duo embarks on an adulterous path. But before their relationship can be consummated at a cheap motel, they are attacked by an unknown enemy (Aseem Merchant, he's so hammy it hurts). Vishal is badly beaten up. Roma is brutally raped. Blackmail is next on this fiend's agenda. If you have seen Derailed, you'll be inflicted with non-stop d�j� vu of the unpleasant kind. Though some of its interesting moments, during the climax, involving fraud and double cross, are altered or omitted in the rehash.
If you haven't seen Derailed, you'll notice fresh flaws in The Train. Like just how India-friendly Bangkok is. There are more Indians than Thais to be found in offices and clubs.
Also, it's amazing how K Raj Kumar's camera manages to make the Thai capital look jaded. You might also receive a free tutorial on bad acting (Bhagat), over acting (Aseem Merchant, Rajat Bedi) and non-acting (Anant Mahadevan) in the span of this two-hour plus movie.
The only time you'll probably rejoice is when Mithoon's soulful songs Beete lamhein and Woh ajnabee show up on screen.
While Emraan looks suitably hassled, except during the steamy sequences, it is one his more controlled performances. His leading ladies range between good and bad.
The other woman: Geeta BasraNewcomer Sayali Bhagat, a former Miss India World, is obviously easy on the eyes. But her wooden body language, conscious dialogue delivery and inability to convey a single emotion is up to no good.
The other heroine, Geeta Basra [Images] fares somewhat better. Armed with confidence and verve, Basra impresses. Even so her clothes and make-up are in dire need of assistance.
The basic flaw of The Train is that it neither has enough juice to sustain itself as a thriller nor the dynamics to engage.
What it does have is director duo Raksha Mistry and Hasnain Hyderabadwala attempting a patchy job of re-producing an already faulty product. (The two previously achieved the same with The Killer (Irrfan Khan, Hashmi), a terribly tampered version of Michael Mann's sleek Collateral)
When the original is no good, can the imitation be any better? You are better off not boarding this Train.

saw the movie sometime back
I would say : I didn't like it fully. It was above average stuff.
Gautham is repeating something again and again and is irritating
Sarth kumar
What a subtle acting and is this sharath ?
A hero with fans going crazy over his bare chest look has acted in a movie like this and that deserves
Jyothika
Mylind is a good actor. But gautham kills his work with his dubbing voice
someone should clunch the throat of gautham and damange it enough so that we will see someone else doing the dubbing part
